Hello anime lovers !! As usual, we will be back in reviewing anime today. This time we will discuss about anime sports genre. This anime is an anime sport that is not bored for me to watch again. After I watched the first episode, I could not stop! Very unexpectedly funny and good story. And the anime we will review today is Yowamushi Pedal.

Ever heard of this anime?

As per the title "pedal", this anime tells about a bicycle, exactly cycling race. This anime takes the background of Bicycle Racing as its plot. But the storytelling at the main character at the beginning of the story is very impressive.

Yowamushi Pedal is a popular anime sport and is continuing their journey in the fourth season of this year.

Yowamushi Pedal is a manga by Wataru Watanabe which was first published in 2008 until now with 41 volume. Yowamushi pedal first season released on October 7, 2013, to July 1, 2014, and the second season released on 6 October to 30 March 2015. The third season has been released in January 2017, and the fourth season will be released on January 9, 2018. And anime is produced by Studio TMS Entertainment.

This anime tells the story of a boy named Sakamichi Onoda. Sakamichi Onoda is an otaku who had entered high school. Earlier in junior high school, he had no friends to talk about things about anime, manga, games and other things related to otaku and he hopes to get into the anime club in his new school.

Onoda cycling with a Mamachari bike, a bicycle used to go shopping and used for short distances, which is usually used Onoda to go buy daily necessities or goods that bought from Akihabara. One day, one of the new students at his school, Shunsuke Imaizumi, who is a reliable cyclist, saw Onoda cycling through hilly streets.

Imaizumi and his new fellow student, Shokichi Naruko, who was impressed with Onoda's ability would like to invite Onoda to a cycling club. How is the Onoda story in the bike club?

Sakamichi Onoda is arguably not a popular main character, smart etc. Here, the Onoda from the beginning is described as otaku being a cyclist with the support of his colleagues. Well, we can say this is from zero to hero.

This anime is very worth to watch. If you like sports anime or funny anime, you should try this anime. You will not regret it guys!

I also like the fact that the anime is not so focused on Onoda as the main character but we can see the point of view of some characters in each episode. You may like one character for several episodes, then like other characters in the next episode.

Yowamushi Pedal is a great anime. There is a lot of character development that I look forward to because there are quite a lot of influential supporting characters. The anime is generally very fun to watch and deserve a high rating.

Anime Review: One Punch Man

Hello Minna! Meet again with admin! Today we will be reviewing an anime that is very good to watch for you who love anime action and comedy genre. Anime which we will review today is One Punch Man.

One Punch Man is an anime that booming in the internet world by the end of 2015. This anime is much talked about in social media, even its main character is often compared with other anime characters. I am very interested in this anime because of the action-comedy genre.

One Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, a man who became a superhero for a hobby. His power is a deadly punch that can kill giant monsters with just one punch. Since then, Saitama has been known as One-Punch Man, according to the title of its manga.

Initially, Saitama was just a depressed unemployed because it was rejected by some companies. One day, he helped a boy from a gigantic monster. Since that time, he was motivated to become a hero. The motivation made him continue to practice by doing the push-up, sit up, and squat jump 100 times and running 10 miles per day until all his hair is bald. But the result of the exercise is a deadly boxing that can defeat his enemy with one punch. It's a bit hard to accept, but that's the way it is.

Along with his journey, One Punch Man meets Genos who is a cyborg teenager. Genos then decided to become a pupil of Saitama because awe of Saitama's power that can kill a female mosquito monster with one punch. And then, both of them register themselves to the superhero association and start fighting together.

Actually, these two figures are contradictory to each other. Genos basically can hardly die because a cyborg keeps on figuring out how to be super powerful like the teacher. While Saitama aka One Punch Man actually feel sad and bored because it becomes very strong and almost without weakness. Each fight goes flat with no challenge, not at all like the hero of his desire where it gets the exciting fight of tough enemies.

The character design is given in this anime so far is still satisfactory. The depiction of a simple main character typical manga gag but still quite firmly typical action-shounen manga was still maintained. Even if considered the artwork One Punch Man is much more towards the action-shounen. While the humor is more emphasis on this anime script that also experienced some changes from the manga version.

Originally, One Punch Man is a manga fun project by a mangaka known as ONE. This series began to be published on June 3, 2009 and got more than 55 million readers. Yusuke Murata (manga author Eyeshield 21) then invites ONE to work together to create a manga version in 2012. This anime itself was released in October 2015 with Shingo Natsume as a director and written by Tomohiro Suzuki. In the first season, One Punch Man series release with 12 episodes and an additional 6 episodes of OVA. The second season itself is expected to be released this year. Well, we have to wait!

So for you who have not watched One Punch Man before, you have to watch this anime because highly recommended.

Anime Review: Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (Assassination Classroom)

Halo Minna!!

Narufufufuuuu
Maybe you already know who laugh like who it was. Yaaap it is the voice of laughter that we often hear from Koro-sensei from Ansatsu Kyoushitsu or also known as Assassination Classroom.

Image Source: http://www.jagongsinopsis.com/

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is a manga series by Yusei Matsui. Ansatsu Kyoushitsu first season release in January 2015 and the second season release in January 2016. Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is the best anime and contains many words that make us motivated.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu tells of the daily life of the 3-E Kunugigaoka students with their teacher, Koro-sensei who is the octopus monster that the government hunts in return for 10 billion Yen if it can kill him. The 3-E class was asked by the government to kill Koro-sensei. All students of the 3-E class are trained in using knives and guns to kill Koro-sensei. In addition to fighting training, they can also train agility to make their movements faster. In the end, the 3-E class is no longer a class in the general school but turns into a murder class.

The first season of this anime is a fun story. Where we can laugh to see the behavior of Koro-sensei with 3-E class. We can also see Koro-sensei giving a lot of motivation to his students. Here, we will be introduced to the 3-E class. In this season, we are presented with 3-E class story fighting against 3-A class.

The second season of this anime is a story of the disclosure. Starting from the background behind the reason why Nagisa's hair always pigtailed two and look like a woman, Kayano story, Nagisa and Karma story as well story of tiredness of Koro-sensei past. And do not forget to prepare your tissue or handkerchief when looking at the end of the second season episode.

Initially, I think only the protagonist is always highlighted here, but after seeing some episodes of the estimate is wrong, all the students in the 3-E class have been highlighted here. Each of this anime episodes has featured characters in the 3-E class.

Given this, anime lovers will know the nature of each character and know about why they are placed in the 3-E class. In addition to focusing on the student's plan to kill their teacher, it turns out that this anime also shows us to face the exams. A lot of smart people who have got good grades and because of that their class come to be popular. And to prove that 3-E class can also be like other classes, Koro-sensei teaches them how to face the exams with the Koro-sensei version.

This anime art presented is enough to support its anime story. Art in this anime is perfect for describing children with a strong school background.

To plot on this anime really presents a memorable story. The story can really stir our feelings. It's really as if we are one of the 3-E class students and also desired to have  a teacher like Koro-sensei in the real world. Coupled with the many moral messages of this anime, this anime is becoming increasingly feasible to get into your watch list. So highly recommended !!

Yaap may be just this our review this time. Share this post if you like and want to share to your friends. Give your comment in the comments field if you have any criticism or suggestion for this blog. Thank you very much for you who have read this post and see you at the next review.

Review "Death Note": The Best Genre Of The Psychology Of All Time

Hello, meet again with admin!! Today we will review anime that I think has its own impression. The anime we will review today is Death Note.

Anime that has the characteristics of genre mystery, supernatural, police, psychological, and thriller have high story quality. Each episode tells an exciting new story and without any boring story repetition.

No doubt, until now no one can match the greatness and popularity of Death Note which is considered as anime with the best genre of the psychology of all time. Even people who do not like the genre of psychology will love this anime because the story is not so complicated but neat.

Death Note tells the story of a young man named Light Yagami who is smart and ambitious, has a desire to cleanse the world from evil. One day, he found a book with the title Death Note falling on the road, explained that it could kill anyone whose name was written in it. Light also meets the owner of the book, Ryuuku, a shinigami from hell who is later attracted by Light's ambition to become "God in the new world." Light spends his days killing an unlawful evil person until one day he meets a great detective known as L. L is a great investigator and equal with Light's cleverness so that they both become a balanced opponent. It is not a fight but a fight with intelligence and strategy because anyone whose identity is first uncovered will be the loser.

Death Note is one of the anime that presents two main characters with different sides and makes both of them a great story bearer. A fight with intelligence between Light and L are really exciting and thrilling. The great intelligence of L makes Light repeatedly cornered, but somehow Light can always able to act swiftly to react to it. Light disguised under the name Kira. L and Kira are both partners and opponents. Even L recognizes Kira's intelligence that could match his intelligence. Previously, there had never been a criminal who could make L difficult as Kira did. In addition to having to hide his true identity as Kira, Light must also behave well in front of his father who is the chief of the police. Which means that Light is actually fighting against his own father.

Later, there will be a figure of a woman who is also a holder of another death note, Misa Amane. Light really takes advantage of Misa that incidentally love him. When Light is suspected L and supervised 100%, Misa is commanded to replace Light's role as Kira. Almost no defects in this anime. Although Death Note is old anime, but the graphics seem to be able to compete with modern anime, then the depiction of characters that have the characteristic of making this anime is very worth to watch.

In my opinion, the only deficiency in Death Note is the death of L. L's killing is actually a proof of Light's intelligence. However, since L died, Death Note story became a bit bland. This bland taste has been treated after the appearance of the character Mello and Near, the boy who was already prepared as the successor L. With the two genius boy, especially the presence of Near, makes Kira's comfort disturbed again.

Well, then who will win this intelligence race? Then how the next Kira fate?

We can see more directly through this anime with 37 episodes. And this anime also has Live Action. So for you who have not watched Death Note before, you have to watch this anime because highly recommended.

Anime Review: Sword Art Online

Hello anime lovers !! Today we will review anime again. And what we will review today is Sword Art Online.

Image source: https://wall.alphacoders.com

Sword Art Online is an anime adapted from light novel made by Kawahara Reki and illustrated by Abec which started in 2002 and has been adapted into anime, manga and video game. The anime itself takes the story from its novel. For season 1 from 25 episodes divided into 2 arcs, namely Aincrad arc (Sword Art Online) from episode 1-14 and Fairy Dance arc (Alfheim Online) from episode 15-25. And season 2 from 24 episodes in which there are 3 arcs, namely Gun Gale Online arc (GGO), Excalibur arc and Mother's Rosario arc.

SAO may take a theme that is quite unique and rather rare, because it takes the theme in the future, the popular game is an online game where players can go directly into the gaming world and move their character avatar like his own body, this is called "Full Dive" in VRMMORPG, Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. The theme of this kind of story that makes it one of the most popular anime of 2012, because it makes the audience (especially gamers) can imagine how fun if really there are games like that.

I think that SAO is the father of the fantasy genre because since its appearance, the anime of fantasy genre especially with the theme of parallel world began to appear. If we override the second season that draws criticism, but in its first season Sword Art Online is a masterpiece that changed many of the order in the anime world.

The theme in this anime is extraordinary interesting because it takes something that is very popular by almost everyone in the world namely a game. Yaaap, SAO tells of a virtual game world that so sophisticated where its players could live there using only a tool called Nerve-Gear. Obviously, this is a dream that is expected of all gamers because no game is more fun than games played by ourselves.

Kirito or Kirigaya Kazuto is a veteran in the SAO world because before the official version was released, he has been playing his beta. Until the year of inauguration there are so many people who follow this game. But that's where the nightmares appear for the players. Suddenly the log out button disappears so that thousands of players who are still there trapped in the game include Kirito himself. Of course, this is not something unintentional, because the Game Master was deliberately doing it in order to trap the players. This he did to make SAO game more interesting because people killed in that world will also be killed in the real world. So there is no way out except they can complete all the floors in SAO world.

Not only the storyline full of surprises and challenges, Sword Art Online also tells about the life of love story between Kirito and Asuna, and Suguha, Kirito's sister who plays as Leafa in online Alfheim who secretly likes Kirito.

The lack of this anime is a story of romance that is so thick that sometimes a bit boring for who loves adventure anime. In terms of animation and special effects, SAO unquestionable. SAO is one of the anime that has the best quality animation and special effects, especially from the artwork, the Virtual Reality world environment is smooth and detail, and the battle scene is practically very cool. Overall, Sword Art Online is a highly recommended anime, interesting storyline, has cool character, supported by special effects, animation and quality music score.
Do not forget the third season of sword art online will release this year. So do not forget to watch this anime guys!

Review About The OLD English Literature : "BEOWULF" Review

Hello! This is our first blog and automatically it will be the first post. Well, today we will review about the Old English Literature.

Image source: https://www.slideshare.net

Old English Literature is also known as Anglo-Saxon Literature. Old English Literature or Anglo-Saxon Literature is a literature written in Old English at the post-Roman period from the middle of the 5th century until 1066 in the Norman Conquest. Old English Literature has various genres such as epic poetry, hagiography, sermons, Bible translations, legislation, chronicles, riddles, and others.

Here, we will review one of the famous Old English Literature that is Beowulf. Beowulf is a poem consisting of 3000 lines and includes a type of epic poetry. Beowulf is a mid-century hero whose story is known through a long poem. Beowulf's poetry tells the journey of a hero's life from the time he was young until his heroic death. Although written in Old English, the setting is located in the Scandinavian region, around Switzerland and Denmark. The writer of the poetry in this manuscript form is unknown. But the first owner of the famous Beowulf manuscript was a writer named Laurence Nowell who lived in the 16th century.

Image source: https://en.wikipedia.org

Beowulf is also made into a 3D adult animated epic fantasy movie that directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary which popularized in 2007. This movie tells the story of the Heorot kingdom who was struck by misfortune for many years because a monster attack who named Grendel. The King, Hrothgar played by Anthony Hopkins looks helpless and almost hopeless. Then came Beowulf played by Ray Winstone to save the kingdom by cutting off Grendel's arm that eventually made Grendel dead. And then, Grendel's Mother played by Angelina Jolie take revenge by spreading terror to all the people of Heorot.

Seeing the terror done by Grendel's Mother made Beowulf come to the devil's cave to kill her. Upon returning from the devil's cave, the situation became calm and peace again settled into the Heorot kingdom with Beowulf himself became a king, until finally a dragon appear to attack him and the dragon was lose at the same time with the death of Beowulf because of his broken left arm.

This movie is so cool and good as a recommendation for you who like hero story in the animation form. And this movie is a 3D animation with good and smooth image quality using advanced CGI animation techniques. Starting from skin texture, facial expressions, until body movement is projected perfectly in CGI canvas. I agree that this movie is highly recommended.

Well, we have finished reviewing Beowulf today. For who are curious to know the story more details, please watch Beowulf that directed by Robert Zemeckis.
